Pretty self-explanatory. Tony thought there weren't enough gongs on my last post. Well... gong solo this time. Need I say more? My apologies to Juan Tizol. It was a great tune before this happened.

Recently purchased the Late Night mallets which arrived today. The heads are larger than I expected, which makes them a tad unwieldy, but used them for a while and I think I'll get used to them. Its sure nice to play my vibes with the…

This one's cool. You have to be careful with the pedal so notes don't ring over to the next chord. The rest of the etudes I've recorded (eventually all of them) are on my YouTube channel and on this site!

This one's for you, David! More exaggeration of dynamics! Let me know what you think.

Friedman Etude #8

This one took me three takes because at the end on the Bb chord, I kept hitting a C in my top mallet instead of a high D. That's one of the harder chords for me to reach in this book. I also strayed a little from the Gregorian chant-like…

This is my last of the three Bud Powell solo arrangements I worked on. I really leaned into the big band vibe for this one -- there's a shout-like intro over a pedal and big hits during the melody (like that one classic jazz rhythmic…

I think this is probably his most famous tune, and it's great so that makes sense. This might be one of my more elaborate arrangements of a head I've done. I really tried to make the head itself have an interesting arc where every A…

This is one of my favorites in the book. Just beautiful counterpoint. It forces you to remember where your hands were to dampen. The rest of the etudes in the book are (or will be soon) somewhere on this site or on my YouTube channel.
